The theme at the working crafts weekend at the Alford Craft Market on the Spring Bank Holiday weekend was "Re-cycling".
All artists and makers are aware of their environment, the damage caused by wastage and how salvaged materials can be incorporated in their own work. At this ever popular event several demonstrators showed their own use of re-cycled materials in both traditional and contemporary crafts and forms of art.
These included:
a feltmaker
a designer/maker of stoves and burners
a rag-rug maker
an artist will demonstrate imagination and originality in creating "Art" with a variety of found materials.
There are
Markets at Easter, Spring Bank Holiday
Weekend, throughout the Summer Months, August
Bank Holiday and Christmas. The Alford Craft Market promotes the manufacture
of high quality, hand crafted goods in and around Lincolnshire.
Entrance to the Craft Markets is free, however, at Bank Holidays, you
are encouraged to make a donation which will help to pay for the advertising
and the entertainment which is provided.
